Why do you picture me?
I'm not a fucking virus
Why do you headline me?
I'm not a fucking virus
Why am I the story?
I'm not a fucking virus
Why do you endanger me?
I'm not a fucking virus
Cheap shots cheap journalism
Crackpot yellowface-ism
We'll infect you
We'll infect you
We'll infect you
We'll infect you
We'll infect you with our sick tunes
We'll infect you with our dance moves
We’ll infect with our killer grooves
That's how we'll infect you
That's how we'll infect you
That's how we'll infect you
Leave off my family
Because they're not a fucking virus
They’re not some kind of disease
Because they’re not a fucking virus
But I’ve got friends who’ll stick up for me
Because he's not a fucking virus
Friends who’ll look out for me
Because he's not a fucking virus
Cheap shots cheap journalism
Crackpot yellowface-ism
We'll infect you
We'll infect you
We'll infect you
We'll infect you
We'll infect you with our sick tunes
We'll infect you with our dance moves
We’ll infect with our killer grooves
That's how we'll infect you
That's how we'll infect you
That's how we'll infect you
Front cover to page 3
Why you have a go at someone like me
Completely
Deceitfully
All to make a buck for your agency
It's the eyes
Dagger eyes
It's the eyes
Dagger eyes
And the trumped-up headlines
All you catch from me is a smart anecdote
All you'll catch is a b movie quote
All you'll catch from me is a smart dress sense
All you'll catch is guitar nonsense
We'll infect you
We'll infect you
We'll infect you
We'll infect you
We'll infect you with our sick tunes
We'll infect you with our dance moves
We’ll infect with our killer grooves
That's how we'll infect you
That's how we'll infect you
That's how we'll infect you

Eyes Up Here
03:29
|

Can’t flirt
with the girls at work
Can't observe
and perv
at the shortness of their skirts
What in the world is this coming too?
A man can’t speak his mind!
Have to read some non-verbal signs?
To me you see
this is PC gone mad!
It's sad
us lads
being forced to feel bad?
Oh hooray! what can we say?
Oh I know, how about some equal pay?
Treat us like humans, not objects of your amusement
And whilst ya at it don’t tell us to smile and forget it
It might not happen luv!
It has please see above
Eyes up here!
Cuz ya time is up
Cuz we had enough
Eyes up here!
Cuz we're now fed up
And we're getting tough
Eyes up here!
Calm down dear
Let's see more of that rear
Eyes up here!
We’re sick of your shit!
Stop staring at my tits!
It’s not as bad as it used to be
I don’t know what the big deal is
Can’t say anything anymore
Around all these bloody feminists
You can vote and work what more do you want
You're just too emotional
Is it your time of the month?
How about correct your respect, check consent, and don't forget to protect our rights without your taunt
But let’s make it clear in case there is anything you may have missed
Let’s do the hetero male privilege check list
Do you fear for your safety if you’re walking home late? NO!
Concerned about getting groped whilst out dancing with mates? No!
Have you ever compared pay checks and thought that aint right? Have you been called a slut for rejecting someone you don’t like? No!
Sorry you don’t like your women aggressive but we’re here to deliver our message
Eyes up here!
Cuz ya time is up
Cuz we had enough
Eyes up here!
Cuz we're now fed up
And we're getting tough
Eyes up here!
Calm down dear
Let's see more of that rear
Eyes up here!
We’re sick of your shit!
Stop staring at my tits!
Thank you lady thieves.
I’m open to changing my beliefs,
(Well Rome wasn’t built in a day
But together we can smash the patriarchy)
Eyes up here!
Because time is up
And it’s now enough
Eyes up here!
Because we're all fed up
And we're getting tough
Eyes up here!
Let’s be clear
There should be nothing more to fear
Eyes up here!
We’re still sick of this shit!
Stop staring at my tits!

Yeah I've got pecs of steel
Uh huh
Yeah I've leadership skills
Uh huh
Yeah I've got sports car
Uh huh
Yeah my career will go far
Girls don't care about my world view
They just looking for some ooh ooh
Girls adore my square jaw chin
Girls adore my rice white skin
Why don't you
Push the paper
Push the paper
Push the paper
Na na na na na na
Push the paper
Push the paper
Push the paper
Na na na na na na
Man don't commit to politics
I'm slick and quick with my chopsticks
Man got abs that are sick
And man got really big chest
Why do you try hard anyway
Geeks are sexier in every way
I'm addicted to likes
Take selfies on my exercise bike
Why do you even bother
When geeks make better lovers
Don't say it's over
Til I get you under covers
Look at him Look at him
I got all brand new car with all new trims
Look at him Look at him
My football club is going to win
Look at him Look at him
My iPhone ringtone's proper prim
Look at him Look at him
Torso A4 paper thin
Push the paper
Watch the football
Place your bets on
Na na na na na na
Clean the pub out
Get your guns out
Flash the cash round
Na na na na na na
Man got sleek wristwatch
Slapped on my Hugo boss
The best things in life ain’t free
I'm in love with shape of me
Why do you try hard anyway
Geeks are sexier in every way
I'm addicted to likes
Take selfies on my exercise bike
Why do you even bother
When geeks make better lovers
Don't say it's over
Til I get you under covers
Hey girls wanna get with me?
Not really you're d-baggie
Come on
Move on
Say what?
Just stop
Hang out?
Hang up
Just read a book
Why do you try hard anyway
Geeks are sexier in every way
I'm addicted to likes
Take selfies on my exercise bike
Why do you even bother
When geeks make better lovers
Don't say it's over
Til I get you under covers

City of London Love
03:50
|
|||
We fall asleep in a mouldy room
That is 5 by 5 foot 2
And the rent is due
The faint sounds of the boys in blue
You live in zone fifteen
In a death trap from the 60s
As we brush our teeth
Get that London breeze
Of fake cherry blossoms and dioxins
Awake at 5:03
To shower beat rush hour
To look at numbers on a screen
Which I still don’t know what they mean
We shared a Greggs near Hampstead
Instead of dinner, the birds we fed
Before they turned on me, I fled
And they defecated on my head
My City of London Love
City London Love
City London Love
I can't lead the life you lead
It was never meant to be
My City of London Love
City London Love
City London Love
I can't lead the life you lead
It was never meant to be
It was never meant to be
It was never meant to be
Our girl can't come to the phone
Cos she’s at home and she’s not alone
She’s found another bloke and from last time we spoke
He’s hotter and not broke.
She's bored with yer
She's dumped yer
And she doesn't want to see any more of yer
Grab your stuff in the street she left
she requests to please leave your keys
by the steps
Before you go
She wants you to know
It was a fling, a temporary thing
And what you were packing
Was extremely disappointing
You're a small mind boy
From a small mind town
And your constant complaining just ground her down
Now just move along
And be gone
And go and write depressing acoustic songs
My City of London Love
It was not love
It was so not love
I can't lead the life you lead
It was never meant to be
My City of London Love
It was not love
It was so not love
I can't lead the life you lead
It was never meant to be
Well she meant nothing to me
Oh really?
No she meant nothing to me
I thought she loved me
How did it come to an end?
I thought she loved me
At least I thought we’d be friends
Why can't he realise
I can't empathise
And won't apologise
For the demise
of a liaison
That's now dead and gone
He's such an infantile imbecile
Who's not worthwhile
Meanwhile he's cramping my style
Now get off the phone
And run along home
Go and cry on your own
My City of London Love
It was not really love
My City of London Love
It was not really love
My City of London Love
It was not really love
My City of London Love
It was not really love

Hey Carrie
Are you going to stand down
Gonna back down
Keep your head down
Go to ground
Uh oh
For the love not the money
Uh oh
For the love not the money
Hey Nathan
Are you gonna break the law
But what for
Sow discord
Does it matter any more
Uh oh
For the love not the money
Uh oh
For the love not the money
Keep quiet, look away, keep your house and home
But what’s love without the money
Close down the bookshop
Close down the newspaper and tv shows
Love! Money!
Love! Money!
Coz everybody wants some
Just keep your head down
Zip it up to take those pennies home
Love! Money!
Your family still needs some
Hey Josh
Will you make the headlines
Trouble online
Over 89
or tow the party line
Uh oh
For the love not the money
Uh oh
For the love not the money
Keep quiet, wash your hands, stay safe at home
But what’s love without the money
Close down the bookshop
Close down the newspaper and tv shows
Love! Money!
Love! Money!
Coz everybody wants some
Just keep your head down
Zip it up to take those pennies home
Love! Money!
Love! Money!
Your family still needs some
Will we stand up
Raise our voices up
Travel up
Keep our heads up
Not break up
I just need a little space, need a little time
I need a little time, need a little time
Will we stand up
Raise our voices up
Travel up
Keep our heads up
Not break up
I just need a little space, need a little time
I need a little time, need a little time
It's not about the love
It's not about the money
It's not about the love
It's not about the money
I need a little time
Need a little time
For some love
It's not about the love
Love
It's not about the money
Money
It's not about the love
Love
It's not about the money
Money
I need a little time
Need a little time
For some love
